Nano zinc oxide/artemisia yellow-wormwood volatile oil/epoxy resin high-performance antibacterial material and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of high polymer materials, in particular to a high-performance antibacterial material and a preparation method thereof, and especially relates to a nano zinc oxide/artemisia yellow wormwood volatile oil/epoxy resin high-performance antibacterial material and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Due to excellent mechanical property, electrical insulation property, processability, dimensional stability, heat resistance and weather resistance, the epoxy resin is widely applied to the fields of electronics and electricity, aerospace, coatings and the like. However, the cross-linked structure of the cured epoxy resin has a certain free volume, so that the cured epoxy resin is easily invaded by moisture, bacteria are bred, the service life of the cured epoxy resin is shortened, and the application field of the cured epoxy resin is limited. Therefore, the research on the antibacterial epoxy resin has important significance and conforms to the sustainable development concept.
In order to achieve the above object, researchers have generally prepared epoxy resins having an antibacterial function by adding an antibacterial agent. The antibacterial agents are various in variety and can be divided into two categories, namely organic antibacterial agents and inorganic antibacterial agents according to different chemical components. Among them, organic antibacterial agents are classified into synthetic antibacterial agents and natural antibacterial agents. The organic synthetic antibacterial agent mainly comprises halogenated matters, phenol and quaternary ammonium salt, although the antibacterial effect is obvious in a short time, the organic synthetic antibacterial agent has the defects of poor durability, easy volatilization, easy decomposition and the like, and is limited by the processing conditions of high polymer materials. The natural organic antibacterial agent is derived from plants or animals, and is environment-friendly and low in cost. For example, patent document CN105368364B discloses an antibacterial epoxy resin potting adhesive based on ginkgo leaf extract and a preparation method thereof, wherein 6-7 parts of natural antibacterial agent is added, and the antibacterial rate of the obtained epoxy resin potting adhesive to escherichia coli and staphylococcus aureus can reach 90%; patent document CN110028762B disclosed before the subject group also reports an antibacterial epoxy resin based on artemisia annua volatile oil and a preparation method thereof, and the antibacterial rate of the obtained epoxy resin composite material on escherichia coli and staphylococcus aureus can reach 90%. Although the epoxy resin based on the natural organic antibacterial agent is green and environment-friendly and has an obvious antibacterial effect, the epoxy resin is large in usage amount on the premise of ensuring high-efficiency antibacterial, and the risk of reducing mechanical properties exists. Inorganic antibacterial agents, especially inorganic nano antibacterial agents, have the advantages of low toxicity, broad spectrum, high efficiency, durability and the like, and for example, nano silver, nano zinc oxide, nano titanium dioxide and the like have attracted wide attention. For example, the subject group reports an epoxy resin composite material based on nano zinc oxide, and the specific method is that the nano zinc oxide is firstly surface-modified, then is dispersed in a curing agent, and then is compounded with epoxy resin (plastic science and technology, 2020,48(03): 25-29). However, the inorganic nano antibacterial agent has poor dispersibility in a polymer matrix, and is easy to agglomerate particularly when the addition amount is large, so that the antibacterial activity and the mechanical property of the material are influenced, and meanwhile, the cost is high, and the large-scale production is limited.
